Nicholai_M Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) Can the KSP Devs add more Russian rocket parts cuz there is already alot of ESA and NASA parts but Barely any Roscosmos Parts? I know theres some Soyuz parts but thats it? No Angara A5?, No Proton? Inspired by this guy Edited January 23, 2023 by Nicholai_M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aziz Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 The short 4 nozzle looks very much like Poodle, you can make all sorts of srbs with available nosecones and symmetry modes, fairings are procedural anyway. Now there are no news of old MH parts being added to KSP2 but they may appear down the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortygont Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I think that to make parts, which is inspired by (!) soviet rockets, is not problem. For example it will be unique to see details, inspired by kb Yuzhnoye (Dnepr) rocket Zenith, or rd 843 for small rockets as on Vega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit dismissive to the lack of variety, no? One hotstage decoupler, singular, is just absurd for a paid DLC. For a paid DLC that comes with parts that should just be part of the America-centric stock game anyway, surely doing a worse job of fixing the stock parts selection than Restock+ shouldn't be expected. Yeah, you can make ugly Frankendecouplers and N1 tanks using struts and fairings and various hacky workarounds, but it isn't particularly pleasing to the eye. Hopefully KSP 2 has some procedural conic tanks to do N1 with, some NOT America parts for once, and lets you pick hotstage decouplers as a variant... for every decoupler. Why is the only hotstaging decoupler in KSP 1 part of the horrid 1.9m parts selection, again...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regex Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) The Soyuz parts in Making History aren't very good, the booster tanks are shaped wrong (and for that matter, can't really scale up). KSP's lack of procedural tank shapes means it's really only good at making tube-shaped rockets unless you get crazy with clipping and part counts, and are satisfied with craft that look like they've been heavily part clipped. Procedural tank shapes would be a godsend. For engines IMO a good compromise might be a RD-170 family-alike, with the 170, 180, and 191. You can use the 191 to make a Proton. Also the RD-107/108 (just get them from Making History, but make them look less bland) and an RD-0110 upper stage engine (all the Soyuz main engines having four combustion chambers is kind of iconic). Not sure if we really need an S5.92 for a Fregat-style space engine, we've already got some nice smaller engines for that. That would handle probably the most common stuff. More hotstage decouplers for all sizes would be nice, especially if they support actual hotstaging and we get to see the exhaust exiting the sides. Note that this also helps if someone wants to make a Titan. Edited January 1, 2023 by regex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakenred65 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) Proc tanks that can have custom dimensions are going to be problematic. A tank that can have its dimensions, top and bottom and length tweaked (say going from the top being 1.25 to the lower being 2.5. , may be a nice idea, but there are reasons why the R7 originaly had conical tanks,(and most following rockets did not) and the N1 had its shape was that the lower stage fuel tanks were spherical. The outer shape was aparentyly a windscreen. R7 was designed so that the 4 boosters and central sustainer stage could ignite simultaneously on the surface, as they were not initially sure of ignition of the second sustainer stage while in flight. The tanks were the shape they were in part to alow the upper connection points, while keeping weight down, aparently streamlining was not much of a consideration, as eventually the bow shock would reduce atmospheric contact friction of the lower body to the point that it was not a consideration after 50 seconds, I think.

Gimme a 1.25m to a point segment, a 1.25m to 2.5m segment, and a 2.5m cylinder, all of my own specified length, and I can make R-7 boosters (and so, so, so much more). If KSP2 can't deliver that I'll have to turn to mods, which really sucks because this should be a relatively easy ask.

Drakenred65 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 You can. But the average player who just got KSP 2? insuspect tanks will be fixed sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a really poor opinion of people who can figure out procedural wings, how to apply custom colors to their craft, and how to change the look of their engines. vOv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
